LifeVantage Corp. announced Monday that President and CEO Douglas Robinson has resigned from the company, ending a tenure that began in 2011. The Salt Lake City-based brand reports that a search is currently underway for Robinson’s successor. In the interim, LifeVantage independent director Dave Manovich will serve as Executive Vice Chairman.

“On behalf of the entire company, I would like to thank Doug Robinson for his leadership and contributions to LifeVantage over the last five years,” said Gary Mauro, Chairman of the Board. “We appreciate his hard work and dedication to growing our company’s footprint, ensuring our transition from retail to network marketing, positioning our distributors for the next phase of growth and strengthening our product line. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
